Online PR News – 21-June-2010 – – Packt is pleased to announce JSF 2.0 Cookbook, a new book that covers all the important aspects involved in developing JSF applications. Written by Anghel Leonard, this book provides clear instructions for getting the most out of JSF while gradually moving through simple and complex recipes.

JavaServer Faces (JSF) is a Java-based Web application framework intended to simplify development integration of web-based user interfaces. It is a request-driven MVC web framework based on component driven UI design model, using XML files called view templates or Facelets views, often mentioned together with Ajax, a RIA technology. Developed through the Java Community Process under JSR - 314, JSF establishes the standard for building server-side user interfaces.

JSF 2.0 Cookbook provides clear instructions for getting the most out of JSF by offering various exercises to build impressive desktop-style interfaces for one’s web applications. The book begins with a discussion of the fundamental aspects of JSF applications and once readers locate their desired topics, they can try to find a recipe that corresponds to their problems.

The book starts off with the simple concepts of converters, validators and file management and then moves towards elaborating resources like CSS, JavaScript and images which help in improving web applications. Along with explaining internationalization and localization for JSF applications, it looks into performing tests and ensuring the security of these applications.

Exploring AJAX, learning important integrations (such as JSTL with JSF, Spring with JSF, and Hibernate with JSF) and Facelets are other important topics that the book deals with. Additionally, implementation of important JSF frameworks such as Apache My Faces Core, Trinidad, RichFaces Core, Sandbox, NetBeans/Glassfish v3 Prelude and Eclipse/JBoss AS is well explained in this book.

Experienced JSF developers who wish to learn best practices and beginners who are aware of JSF basics but wish to develop real applications will find this book a beneficial and interesting read. This book is out now and available from Packt. For more information, please visit: www.packtpub.com/jsf-2-0-cookbook/book
